GROUNDS IN GOOD SHAPE
Pitchers on Hand Exhibit Speed
and Carres and Say They Will
lie In Condition for Game
With Week for Practice.
Ths second workout of ths' season
at Columbia University yesterday wss
enough to convince Manager Williams
that ths pitching; recruits for ths
Northwestern League ball team ars
good men. Notwithstanding that their
"e leg" were jtlll with them,
tha pitching corps cut loose with
speed and curves. However, ths boy
have been working out down South
before this and say they will ba In
condition for a game In a week. If
weather conditions will permit out
side work.
Tonneaoa and Berger. ex-Paclflo
Coast League men, being with Oak
land and San Francisco, respectively,
two years ago. delighted the manager
by their showing, when pitching for
tho corps of recruits at batting prac
tice. Tonneaon la a left-hander and
be was not tho least bashful shout
putting steam behind his delivery.
Berger Intimates that he can "corns
back" and bis work justified ths ex
pression. FreTloutt Work Show.
The new men. Dorland. Tates and
Allegeart. worked like Trojans and
ahowed that they havs worked out
previously this season. Tates Is a tall,
slander fellow, somewhat of the type
of Bobby Groom, now with Washing
ton. Allegeart Is more on tho order
of Gene Krapp, with somewhat ths
same atyle of delivery.
Dorland. has a severs "kink" In his
right houlder. ' Tho college lad was
troubled with this orene prevlou
to Saturday's workout, but thought by
whipping It hard he might straighten
out tb "kink." Ho apparently made
It worse and will rest for a day or
two. The little time he did work
led Williams to believe he has "stuff
In his right wing.
Lots of "pepper" was shown In the In
field work. too. with Mundorff. Mensor,
Waters, Clothier and Williams guard
ing the various sacks. A newly
scraped diamond held back tha speed
somewhat, but It was nevertheless
fast. Mundorff shows the class that
landed him the Seal berth two years
ago. Waters handles himself well and
when It came to his turn at the willow,
he hammered th sphere to all cor
ners of the campus. He steps Into
the ball nicely and puts plenty of
"beef" behind his swings. Clothier Is
"sweet" little fielder about the also
of Phil Cooney and with lot of
ginger.
Ilard Workout Given.
The men hied themselves to Co
lumbia University early yesterday and
put In several hour' bard work. Wll
liama chased hi men around ths green
several times as grand final to ths
days work.
Manager Williams reports slight Ill
luck In ths Inability to get Denny
Carroll, the San Francisco trainer, for
his "Roadster" team. Williams elic
ited Carroll's promise to eome North
through the offer of tempting pay
check. Danny Long got "hep" to the
deal and "came through" to his trainer
for rise In psy and Denny will stay
with the Seals. Williams rated Car
roll, highly and expected to use him
as secretary In addition to trainer.
Williams' laborers have seraped the
Columbia Infield, making It very fast.
Ths outfield Is finely turfed, and
roomy. A batting cage dispenses with
the services of catcher until soma
of the receivers get here. With the
speed of the Inflelders and the clever
ness of tha outfield re-assurlng him
on tha lefenalve phase. Williams will
try to develop a heavy-tlcklng team,
and following that policy will give
the boy plenty of batting; practice.
.he boy already here are expected
to be reinforced by several recruits
today and all will work out on the
Columbia University field. The men
will be on tha grounds early and will
probably work throughout the heat
of the day. Portland fans ars eager
for a peep at the Roadster recruits
and will no doubt flock to the Uni
versity Park ball grounds.
"If the rest of ths men work as
willingly and as pleasingly as those
now here, little fear may be had that
the 'Roadsters' will not be strong
elub," said Manager Williams yester
day after practice. "All I need fear
Is ths pitching staff and present In
dications look really good. The new
Inflelders handl themselves wslL"
